I just got this car a few months ago; nothing has gone wrong yet.
Before I bought it, the dealer did something to make the air conditioner work better. It's ice cold; the heater is nice and warm.
The defroster seems to defrost kind of slowly, but it works.
This is a great car. It was cheap (only $1800), but it runs perfectly.
It gets good fuel economy (I've been getting about 30 mpg in town).
I love the manual transmission. It shifts well for a car almost a decade old.
It handles very well. I can take corners much faster than the people who look at this little car, thinking "what is an Scoupe?".
It will last you a long time. Ours has 140k and still no major problems except Clutch Slave Cylinder.
Yea, my SCoupe has 167+k miles on it, and it's running perfectly. :) So it will last a good long time.
